1 Peter 3:18-20
Christian Standard Bible

18 For Christ also suffered(A) for sins once for all,(B) the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring you to God.(C) He was put to death in the flesh[a](D) but made alive by the Spirit,[b] 19 in which[c] he also went and made proclamation to the spirits(E) in prison 20 who in the past were disobedient, when God patiently waited in the days of Noah(F) while the ark was being prepared. In it a few—that is, eight people[d](G)—were saved through water.

1 Peter 3:18-20
New Living Translation

18 Christ suffered[a] for our sins once for all time. He never sinned, but he died for sinners to bring you safely home to God. He suffered physical death, but he was raised to life in the Spirit.[b]

19 So he went and preached to the spirits in prison— 20 those who disobeyed God long ago when God waited patiently while Noah was building his boat. Only eight people were saved from drowning in that terrible flood.[c]
